Through a personal lens, ANOHNI addresses loss of loved ones, inequality, alienation, acceptance, cruelty, ecocide, devastation wrought by Abrahamic theologies, Future Feminism, and the possibility that we might yet transform our ways of thinking, our spiritual ideas, our societal structures, and our relationships with the rest of nature. On her first full album since 2016’s HOPELESSNESS, she explains the creative process was painstaking, yet also inspired, joyful, and intimate, a renewal and a renaming of her response to the world as she sees it. “Some of these songs respond to global and environmental concerns first voiced in popular music over 50 years ago.” ANOHNI’s approach since her last record has shifted from someone tasked with challenging global denial, to an artist seeking to support others on the front lines. “I learned with HOPELESSNESS that I can provide a soundtrack that might fortify people in their work, in their activism, in their dreaming and decision-making. I can sing of an awareness that makes others feel less alone, people for whom the frank articulation of these frightening times is not a source of discomfort but a cause for identification and relief. On “It Must Change,”ANOHNI soulfully describes systems in collapse with a note of compassion for humanity: “The truth is I always thought you were beautiful in your own way // That’s why this is so sad.” ANOHNI’s voice is sensual and smoothed, selectively reaching to the edges of what it can contain. “We’re not getting out of here // No one’s getting out of here // This is our world,” she murmurs. A portrait of legendary human rights activist Marsha P. Johnson taken by Alvin Baltrop features on the cover, reflecting a 25-year relationship with the memory of Johnson that ANOHNI has held space for in the presentation of her own work. Elsewhere, the album artwork states ”IT’S TIME TO FEEL WHAT’S REALLY HAPPENING”. In some ways it feels as if she is reaching across her life’s expression, and has found a moment of unique composure, wearing her long exploration of disarming intensity, with the maturity of a painter carefully choosing her colors. “I want the work to be useful, to help others move through these conversations we are now facing, to move with dignity and resilience through this bitter dawning.” Artist ANOHNI and the Johnsons Genre Rock And Pop Label Rough Trade Buying Options 180g 1LP , 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 180g , 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings It Must Change Go Ahead Sliver Of Ice Can’t Scapegoat It’s My Fault Rest There Wasn’t Enough Why Am I Alive Now You Be Free Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Paul Simon One Trick Pony Rock And Pop | We Are Vinyl | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 29th August 2018 £19.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Paul Simon One Trick Pony £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: We Are Vinyl SKU: 19075835111 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 29th August 2018 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Chubby and The Gang Lightning Don’t Strike Twice / Life’s Lemons Rock And Pop | Partisan Records | 7", Single Released 28th May 2021 £9.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Chubby and The Gang Lightning Don’t Strike Twice / Life’s Lemons £9.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Partisan Records SKU: PTKF2198-7 Formats: 7", Single Released Date: 28th May 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Pink Floyd The Dark Side Of The Moon (Dutch White Vinyl) Rock And Pop | Harvest | 1LP Released 24th October 2023 £75.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pink Floyd The Dark Side Of The Moon (Dutch White Vinyl) £75.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Harvest SKU: nn274985 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Who, The Endless Wire Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 2LP Released 19th March 2015 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Who, The Endless Wire £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 3715751 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 19th March 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Airborne Toxic Event, The Such Hot Blood Rock And Pop | Membran | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes 7" Released 30th September 2013 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Airborne Toxic Event, The Such Hot Blood £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Membran SKU: 233790 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes 7" Released Date: 30th September 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Theme Park Theme Park Rock And Pop | Transgressive | 1LP, Includes CD Released 25th February 2013 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Theme Park Theme Park £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Transgressive SKU: TRANS156X Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 25th February 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Martin Newell Greatest Living Englishman Rock And Pop | Captured Tracks | 1LP Released 23rd February 2018 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Martin Newell Greatest Living Englishman £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Captured Tracks SKU: CT271 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bob Dylan & The Grateful Dead Dylan & The Dead Rock And Pop | Columbia | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 9th July 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bob Dylan & The Grateful Dead Dylan & The Dead £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Columbia SKU: 19075823171 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 9th July 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Brian Eno Ambient 4: On Land Rock And Pop | UMC/Virgin | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 14th November 2018 £18.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Brian Eno Ambient 4: On Land £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC/Virgin SKU: ENOLP8 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 14th November 2018 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Daniel Avery Ultra Truth Rock And Pop | Phantasy Sound | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 4th November 2022 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Daniel Avery Ultra Truth £33.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Phantasy Sound SKU: PHLP19X Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 4th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
